    Wildwest's brew lean-to (my almost dream build)

    That's what I was thinking.. You don't look huge, you look tiny in there haha. Wish I had that much space for my stuff :D

    Applejack recipe question

    I'm curious how this will turn out. When I had first built my kegerator it took a while to get my temp dialed in properly so unfortunately I had a couple freezing issues at first. Suffice it to say one night I had two pints of cider and was feeling much more :drunk: than I should have. I...

    Happiness is: Home malting

    What an awesome threat, just read it all and its interesting stuff. A definite Prost! P.S. Hows that laundry machine conversion going?

    Do you drink your airlock?

    Ingenious... These ideas could revolutionize the whole brewing scene boys! Think about all the potential new flavours that we might add to the beers by using AC condensation haha. :rockin:

    Large Batches fermentation help

    You could always do half with the oak and half without. I really don't know enough about wine to actually give you tips on flavour or the effects...

    Large Batches fermentation help

    You could probably find some 15 gal demijohns made of glass for pretty cheap. My grandpa used to have 12 of the big ones for wine making but we gave them away after he passed. Wish I could have a few of them now, I would love to do some cider in them lol. I do see them on craiglist and kijiji...

    Do you drink your airlock?

    I love how how a random question I thought would be funny while in a slightly inebriated state of being has turned into a discussion on the necessity of airlocks. Love HBT

    4 day old Wheat beer on tap! - without lots of yeast!

    Maybe that is the weird taste you're getting?

    Do you drink your airlock?

    Glad to know I'm not the only one then...

    Do you drink your airlock?

    I've never actually done it myself, however I must admit that after my first batch of cider was done fermenting I was tempted. The rum I had in the airlock had a nice apple smell and even looked slightly carbonated. I thought that it would taste good but I just couldn't bring myself to do it...

    Coconut mead. Have I created a monster?

    Did the vacuum form when you put it into the fridge? If that is the case, I believe it is just a result of the liquid/air cooling.

    4 day old Wheat beer on tap! - without lots of yeast!

    What's the verdict on this? Was there a mess at the bottom of the keg or did golden rays of awesomeness shine out when you took that lid off?

    Closed-system pressurized fermentation technique!

    Creative and I like it. Do you think that you could connect a couple Cornys with finished (but uncarbonated) beer to a keg fermenting at a high rate and use the excess CO2 produced to carbonate those kegs? The problem I could see is that at room temp the pressure would have to be near 30 psi...

    Closed-system pressurized fermentation technique!

    Wow.. I just spent a couple hours reading everything and I'm very impressed and interested. I had been planning to ferment in a corny with a regular airlock and then close it up near the end for some natural carb. This technique is really interesting and I might have to go shopping soon...

    wine fermentation temps

    I'm pretty sure you want to keep whatever you are fermenting in the proper range for the type of yeast you are using. I'm fairly new so I could be wrong but I believe the higher the temp, the faster the ferment but potentially the more off flavours that might be created. At lower temps, the...

    Early Sanitation of Carboy

    Awesome guys, thanks very much. I imagine Ill just sanitize it again when I fill it up since the couple cents of sanitizer isn't worth the risk of a lost batch. Was more curious than anything.

    Early Sanitation of Carboy

    Hello everyone, I did a quick forum search but I wasn't able to find a threat about my question. (although I found a few interesting threads such as how you know when you are no longer a n00b lol) In any case, I was curious what the popular view was on sanitizing a glass carboy and then...
